Mauritius, Indian Ocean » surfing info

Spots:

A) Inside the lagoon left of the jetty of hotel indian resort.
This wave breaks very nicely in big swell, especially during high tide, but isn't dangerous, as inside the lagoon, waves and currents are rather harmless. It is suitable for beginners, but there are some corals underground and the spot works only in bigger swells. Safety from the Beach with boat at the ready.

B) the small reef in front of the hotel indian resort.
Another wave breaking on a mix of stones and corals, but not really hardcore in small swells. It is a right (breaks from right to left when looking from the beach) that works best with northwinds, offshore winds, or no wind during middle to high tide. This small reef is about 400 meters from the beach, which implies either a strong paddling to go there and come back, or rather the use of one of the boats at our disposal, especially for beginners and classes overall. Safety will be guaranteed with Walkie Talkies and boat on the spot itself, close to the students.

C) One-eye …. The worldfamous one
Right in front of hotel berjaya, One Eye is a really fast and tuby left, reserved exclusively to experts. It breaks on a really shallow coralreef with a lot of sea urchins, and sometimes serious current. Works best at high tide and with light off shore south-east to northeast winds.

One eye is a symbol on the island, a wave respected by all hot local surfers, so if you want to surf there, you'de better be both good and tough at the peak. Great place for our guests to take pictures of the pros facing the walls of water of One eye!

We don´t offer Retal to One-Eye!

D) Manawa
About 2 km out in front of the hotel indian resort, Manawa is another spot for more advanced and experts surfers. By small swells elsewhere, this spot still picks up a lot more and offers even bigger waves. A very nice left breaking on a coral reef, but not as fast and tuby as One-eye, Manawa has a serious reputation too, and often requires a boat due to the strong currents you have to face to reach the wave itself.

E) Tamarin
Located about 20 km north of the Hotel Indian Resort, Tamarin is a very popular left that first breaks on a reef, and then on a sandy bottom. It can become the longest ride you can conceive, but it needs quite a big swell to work properly. This break is also very good for beginners, as long as you stay close to the sandy beach (no current to pull you behind the wave).

Transfer to Tamarin can be organised with a taxi. One taxi with 4 guests shouldn't cost no more than € 10 euros per person.
